The affluent Kalkaji Assembly segment in South Delhi is grappling with civic challenges ahead of the February 5 elections. Despite its wealth, the area longs for congestion-free roads, proper sanitation, and well-maintained civic infrastructure.

Currently represented by outgoing Chief Minister Atishi, the constituency is poised for an electoral battle featuring BJP heavyweight Ramesh Bidhuri and Congress' Alka Lamba. Residents, satisfied with the Delhi government's health and education initiatives, urge a focus on addressing civic issues.
